Vehicle access to Great Point prohibited

The green lines indicate what oversand-vehicle trails are open and the red which are closed on The Trustees's Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge and Great Point.▲

(June 20, 2018) Vehicles are now restricted from traveling north to Great Point Lighthouse from approximately a half-mile north of Marker Three on The Galls, announced The Trustees, which oversees much of Great Point and the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge with the Nantucket Conservation Foundation.

A least tern colony is beginning to hatch out at the overwash known as "The Blowhole," Trustees stewardship manager Diane Lang said.

In addition, the section of sound-side beach from the cottage lot south to Marker Seven has been reopened to oversand-vehicle traffic, she said.

"As always, you can walk along the shore on any beach on the property unless it is fenced off and marked with shorebird signs that say 'no entry'," Lang said.
